Domino’s documentary maker avoids contempt of court charge after refusing to hand over film
Filmmaker Phoebe Stuart-Carberry refused to hand over the film to Domino’s in court today
A Sydney woman who made a short film which alleges Domino’s Pizza breaches a rival’s GPS delivery tracker patent narrowly avoided being charged with contempt of court after she refused the court’s order to hand over a copy of the film to Domino’s.
Phoebe Stuart-Carberry was ordered to hand over a copy of the film today after Domino’s was granted an injunction last week barring its publication, amid claims she has used the film to threaten Domino’s company CEO Don Meij with blackmail.
But appearing in the NSW Supreme Court this morning clutching a copy of her film, Phoebe Stuart-Carberry defied repeated demands from sitting judge, Justice Des Fagan, to hand the disk over to the pizza chain.
Domino’s should pull their big boof heads in and move on.
I really think our courts have better things to do than listen to your American style hypersensitive brand issues fight over a petty video.
Free our Australian courts for more serious issues and leave your American insecurities at home.
Having seen the video, I’m inclined to stand with Phoebe and the lads from Precision Tracking. The legal system rarely works in favour of justice – it appears the more cash one has, the more just the world.
